The campaign is proud to announce that supporters have formed a new political party that will get Bobby on the ballot in four states: Hawaii, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Oregon. The party is called “We The People.”
Most states offer independent presidential candidates two methods of achieving ballot access — as an individual candidate or as the nominee of a new party. The two processes often require different numbers of signatures. In most states, the individual candidate process requires fewer signatures. However, in some states, the party ballot access requires fewer signatures and is the most direct path to ballot access. Once a new party achieves ballot access this way, they can nominate the candidate of their choosing, in this case, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
With these party filings, we’re reducing the number of valid signatures we need to get on the ballot nationwide. In Hawaii and North Carolina, the new party will get ballot access through collecting signatures. In Mississippi, the new party will be able to get ballot access without collecting any signatures or party registrations.
“We the people” are the first three words of the U.S. Constitution. These words symbolize that our government draws its power from the people that it was made to serve.
This past October, RFK Jr. returned to Philadelphia, the birthplace of the United States, and declared his independence from the “bankrupt two-party system.” He did so with the National Constitution Center behind him and the words “We the people” etched into the building by his side.
Standing in that historic place he said, “Like the Founding Fathers declared their independence from the crown more than two centuries ago, today we declare our independence from the corrupting influence of Wall Street and corporate donors that have rigged our economy for the few at the expense of the many.”
Because RFK Jr was unjustly denied Secret Service protection for so long, his campaign went into the red to provide him physical security. Now we need to retire that debt. Please contribute as much as you can today to help us close this vulnerability and give Bobby peace of mind.
